  1. Germany surrendered in April 1945
  2. Atomic bombs became available in July 1945
  3. Japan was attacked with 2 atomic bombs in August 1945
  4. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, officially on September 2, 1945

No atomic bombs existed before Germany surrendered! The first one was exploded in the Trinity test at Alamogordo, NM on July 16, 1945. There were only two more bombs, of two different types, being assembled. These were used on Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9), and for a short time, there were no available atomic bombs. Japan did not know that.
